Over time, the skin’s structure begins to change: collagen and elastin levels drop, cell turnover slows, and moisture retention decreases. This can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and a general loss of firmness or radiance. External factors like sun exposure, pollution, stress, and lifestyle choices all accelerate these changes, while hormonal shifts in the menopause or andropause can also play a significant role. The effects show first on the eye area, face, neck, chest and hands—areas that are most exposed day to day.
Younger clients (under 40) now like to practice “collagen banking” where we strive to keep up the collagen and elastin in our skin.
The delicate eye area – both above and below can be treated with a variety of methods for both colour and quality of skin.
Stage 1
Redness appears occasionally and is often triggered by hot drinks, spicy food, or exercise.
Stage 2
Redness becomes more consistent. Small visible blood vessels (telangiectasia) may appear.
Stage 3
Acne-like breakouts begin, without blackheads. Skin may feel sore or sensitive.
Stage 4
Skin may thicken, particularly around the nose (rhinophyma).
Stage 5
In rare cases, severe rosacea - called phymatous rosacea - can lead to the development of rhinophyma - a bulbous enlargement of the nose, most common in men. Rosacea can also be ocular when it is located on the eyelids, conjunctiva and cornea, manifesting itself as red, watery and very dry eyes.
